One side appears to be a dull brown in the pan, but is actually a great, smudgy, smoggy, olive-brown color--there's definitely a greenish cast to it on me. It's very pigmented and works well as a liner (both wet or dry), as a crease color, and even all over the lid (well-blended, natch) for a sexy, smoky eye. The gold shadow is a shimmery (but not sparkly), yellowy-gold with the slightest of touch of olive in it. The texture of both sides is great. I loved to wear this duo is with the gold brushed all over the lid and the brown as a liner (wet) on the top lashline (or dry over a dark brown eyeliner), smoked out in the crease/outer 'V' and blended into the gold. Hint: If you brush the brown over the gold, you get a great olive color

I put it on before I put on my moisturizer and makeup in the morning and it made my skin feel like silk! It also allowed my makeup to go on more smoothly and kept the drier parts of my skin nice and moist. I dare say it almost gave me an airbrushed look once my makeup was on. I can breakout occasionally in my t-zone, but this product didn’t cause any irritation or oily patches. It’s a pricier drug store item, but definitely worth it (for a very good product) with the added advantage that a little (just two pumps or so) was needed for my entire face and neck, so a little goes a long way.
As the weeks went on, I found that this gave me a smoother and clearer complexion. The serum goes on nicely, sinks right in. It does have a slight floral smell to me, but it didn’t last long. It absorbed quickly without a greasy or heavy feel.
My skin looked "fresher" when I used this. I also liked the pump bottle that it comes in. It made it easy to pump out just the right amount, and was small enough for a travel bag.
Note: When I didn’t have any hand cream handy I rubbed a little of the serum on my hands and after about five minutes, my skin was super baby soft!
